About the department

The Department of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center provides the full range of diagnostics and treatment for infants, children and adolescents with acute and chronic blood diseases, as well as various malignant solid tumors. The department treats about 3,500 young patients every year. In addition to top-class medical care, the department's specialists create favorable conditions for children so that the treatment process proceeds as comfortably and effectively as possible. The department is headed by Dr. med. Ronit Elhasid.

One of the department's key activities is bone marrow transplant (autologous and allogeneic). The autologous bone marrow transplants serve for the treatment of such malignant diseases as recurrent lymphoma, metastatic types of bone cancer, high-risk neuroblastoma and certain types of brain tumors. The allogeneic transplants are carried out for the treatment of blood cancer and non-cancerous diseases, such as congenital immunodeficiency states, metabolic disorders and inherited blood diseases. To meet the special needs of children and protect the patient from life-threatening infections, the transplantations are performed in specially designed rooms (with positive pressure and air filtration systems). After transplantation, the patient returns home and stays under the close monitoring of experienced specialists. It should be noted that the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) recognized the department as the International Bone Marrow Transplant Center.

The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of the following diseases:

  • Anemia of various origins (alimentary anemia, spherocytosis, sickle cell anemia and thalassemia)
  • Leukocyte pathologies
  • Platelet pathologies (immune thrombocytopenia purpura)
  • Bone marrow failure syndromes
  • Coagulopathy and thrombophilia
  • Histiocytosis (especially Langerhans cell histiocytosis)
  • Malignant diseases in children
    • Acute and chronic leukemia
    • Brain tumors (in collaboration with the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery)
    • Bone and soft tissue tumors (in collaboration with the Department of Orthopedic Oncology)
    • Lymph node cancer (for example, Hodgkin lymphoma)
    • Tumors of the kidneys, adrenal glands, testes and ovaries
    • Rare malignant tumors in children
  • Other pathologies

The diagnostic and therapeutic options of the department include:

  • Hematologic examinations, including bone marrow examinations
  • Transfusion of blood and its components
  • Intravenous administration of iron
  • Treatment using immunotherapy, including immunoglobulins, Rituximab (MabThera) and anti-D immunoglobulin
  • Chemotherapy
  • Autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplant
  • Other medical services

It is worth noting that the rooms in the department are designed specifically for children in order to provide them with a more comfortable stay in the hospital. They have a play area, cozy seating areas, computers, games, videos and other children's entertainments.
